Question 1 of 2

1. Question

What do you think is the most common food allergy in dogs and cats?

Beef

Chicken

Corn

Wheat

Soy

Correct

Yes!! In North America dogs are exposed to beef most often and thus it is statistically more often a problem. The proteins in beef are also similar enough to lamb and bison that they are often a problem too 🙁

Beef is the most common allergen, chicken is a close second. These foods are high in protein that pets are often exposed to. Soy is third, and interestingly more of a problem in Asia. Corn and wheat are much less common as they are lower in protein (the immune system targets proteins).

Incorrect

Chicken is a close second. Vegetables & grain contain less protein (immune system targets) and are less commonly problematic.

Correct
